Miyabi Fusion was created in collaboration with Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Each blade is finished by master craftsmen in Seki, Japan using the traditional honbazuke blade-honing technique. All knives feature razor-sharp edges of the East with shapes more accommodating to Western chefs. The rounded spine and blade heel design is gentler on fingers and hands. The durable VG-10 (CMV60) cutting core is sandwiched by 64 layers of softer steels, each rolled on top of each other creating a 'Flower Damascus' pattern. The VG-10 core produces a sharpness and cutting edge retention measurably superior to ordinary knife steels; a complex mix of Cobalt, Molybdenum and Vanadium. Featuring a triple-riveted Western style handle made from a black resin called Duracon, and a full tang with eye-catching red accents. Made in Japan, lifetime warranty.
